The TRN-series is a submersible self-aspirating aerator designed for aeration and mixing of wastewater. The liquid flow generated by Tsurumi's special semi-open impeller causes negative pressure to form on the backside of the impeller vanes and draw in air from above the water's surface. The aspirated air, mixed with water viciously by mechanical forces inside the impeller and guide vane, transforms into tiny bubbles. Moreover, the mixed flow of air and water is evenly discharged in multiple directions along the circumference. The compounded action of the air lift and convective currents that are generated in the process makes aeration and agitation very efficient and increases the amount of oxygen dissolved in the water.
Application to Deeper Installation
Each aerator has a limit in its installation depth, but Tsurumi provides an optional device by which the aerator can be installed in deeper places. It is a simple stand or a stand with draft tube. Details are available on request.

Mixed Flow of Air-water
Tiny bubbles are discharged in multiple/one direction, whereby creating convective currents that agitate the water. As the bubbles rise, a large amount of oxygen dissolves in the water.

1. Anti-wicking Cable Entry
Prevents water incursion due to capillary action should the cable sheath be damaged or the end of cable submerged. Also prevents moist air from infiltrating the motor housing and condensation from forming inside the housing due to temperature differences between the housing and outside air.
2. Motor Protector
Miniature Thermal ProtectorReact to excessive heat caused by dry-running. The bimetal strip opens to cause the control panel to shut the power supply.
Circle Thermal ProtectorDirectly cuts the motor circuit if excessive heat builds up or overcurrent occurs in the motor.
3. Dual Inside Mechanical Seals with Silicon Carbide Face
Isolated in the oil chamber where a clean, non-corrosive and abrasion-free lubricating environment is maintained. Compared with the water-cooled outside mechanical seal, it reduces the risk of failure caused by dry-heating and adher-ing matter. The silicon carbide provides 5 times higher corrosion, wear and heat resistance than the tungsten carbide. Rubber parts are made of NBR or FPM (FKM) which provides higher resistance to heat and chemicals.
4. Oil Lifter
Provides lubrication and cooling of the seal faces down to 1/3 of normal oil level, thus maintaining a stable shaft sealing effect and prolonging seal life longer.
Tsurumi's submersible aerators are used at wastewater treatment facilities to aerate and agitate industrial wastewater, livestock wastewater and other water that needs treating. More specifically, they provide the primary aeration in reactor tanks and aeration tanks at the heart of the water treatment process, and aeration and agitation in flow regulating tanks. These aerators produce tiny bubbles in the wastewater by furiously mixing in air they draw from above the wastewater's surface, and discharge the aerated wastewater to the outside. The mixed flow of air and water contains a high amount of dissolved oxygen and makes aeration and agitation very efficient.
Tsurumi offers two kinds of aerators in three series. The TRN-series features Tsurumi's baseline submersible aerators that produce a high amount of dissolved oxygen and enable efficient aeration and agitation, while the BER-series are submersible jet aerators that generate a powerful unidirectional flow. All three series are built to draw air themselves while submerged in wastewater, so they can aerate and agitate wastewater without requiring a blower, which greatly reduces both installation space and noise.
Despite their simple structures, Tsurumi submersible aerators are packed with original technologies that have been tested and proven over many years of R&D and market use, such as an anti-wicking cable, dual inside mechanical seals with silicon carbide faces and Oil Lifter. Moreover, they are designed and built for the degree of reliability and durability required for 24 hour-a-day continuous operation. Plus, when it is time for maintenance, it suffices to raise just the pump from the tank; the tank does not need to be drained as is the case of a plate/tube diffuser, so these aerators are economically beneficial in terms of running costs.

How to aerate in tank deeper than max. water depth
In combination with a blower (Example of installation in a 10 m-deep tank)
Applicable for deep tank aeration below max. water depth. Because it draws air on its own, the aerator works with a general-purpose blower instead of a high-pressure blower.
